Immersion into Fiction, Nonfiction, and Poetry
At Ekya, our language program is designed to ignite curiosity and cultivate a lifelong love for reading and writing. We believe that literature is a mirror and a window—reflecting personal experiences while opening doors to new perspectives. Our curated selection spans across genres, including:
Fiction
From timeless classics to contemporary narratives, students immerse themselves in stories that spark imagination and empathy. Our unique booklist hosts books written by popular authors from India and across the world.
Non-fiction
Biographies, reports, essays, and informational texts help students engage with real-world issues and develop critical thinking.
Poetry
Through rhythm, metaphor, and emotion, students explore the power of language in its most expressive form.
Including Books by Indian Authors
We feature award-winning Indian authors’ works in contemporary Indian settings to make connections to local and familiar contexts!
Three Language Approach
English is the medium of instruction, Kannada provides the local flavour and our students learn Hindi (up to Grade 4) or French (from Grade 5 and above)
Writing Process
The writing process is a significant part of the language program where all writing is treated as a creative act which requires time and positive feedback. Students use feedback to modify their work and have to return to the prewriting step to develop and expand their ideas.
Prewrite
Our students brainstorm ideas, decide on a topic, and plan their approach.
Research
They find relevant sources, collect information, and organise their findings.
Draft
Our students rearrange their paragraphs, replace unclear language, and improve their content.
Revise
Our students rearrange their paragraphs, replace unclear language, and improve their content.
Edit & Proofread
As a final step, they review formatting, grammar, and punctuation to ensure a polished and professional product.
